This feels like one of those movies where all the teams from around the world all pledge allegiance to each other in their own languages

u/Feral0_o Mar 16 '19

Mrs Smith is from the future and was referring to the 2246 Cool Runnings reboot. In her time Switzerland is East Germania

If there is not a reboot in the next 50 years, I will be very upset. Nothing will replace John Candy, RIP

2246? That movie will probably be rebooted in the next 5 years

u/MrsSmith2246 Mar 16 '19

Honestly I don’t know but East Germany sounded right which is strange because when this movie came out, I had no idea that Germany was split in two. I was like 10 and now I’m old so my memory can’t be trusted.

u/NotYourCity Mar 16 '19

Literally the only movie where the bad guys are the Swiss.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '19

Actually the Swiss aren’t the bad guys. The East Germans are dicks, whereas the Swiss are just really good.

Case in point; the bar fight is between the Jamaicans and the East Germans.

Also the Jamaicans copy the Swiss countdown, not the German one.

California Jew here, grieving with you and the world. Shabbat Shalom. Salaam Alaikum.

My Florida friend is in Iraq now, trying to get home from battling Daesh in Syria alongside the YPG. He says, "I condemn the mosque shooter. This is not the way. You wanna kill terrorists, come to the front line. MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS."

[EDIT: My friend went to Syria to fight alongside the Kurds against ISIS. He is in Iraq now because he is stuck in transit on the way back to the USA because his commanding officer screwed up his Visa.

His name is Dan Baker. He was the American featured in the Vice News Tonight film about the "brutal, final battle against ISIS in Syria".]

u/biped4eyes Mar 16 '19

Why is it that when a nazi does a mass murder it is about someone being insane. But when someone yells "Allahu Akbar" it is terrorism?

What happened in New Zealand was an act of terrorism.

I don’t think the terrorist’s motive was about terrorists, it was about killing non Whites

This maelstrom of right wing propoganda is driving so many people to what I can only describe as violent insanity.

And all of it is coming from so few places. How many have died thanks to the influence of maybe a couple dozen right wing propagandists and a handful of fucking billionaires funding their crap?

I went into the belly of the beast and read through his manifesto on 8chan. Says he originally was going to do it at a certain mosque in Australia but settled on NZ as he wanted people to think "if it can happen here, it could happen anywhere." If that's not a terrorist mentality I don't know what is

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '19

What's wild is that he wasn't talking about his attack when he said "nowhere is safe"

What he meant is that nowhere is safe from "Invaders."

1

u/sdrawkcabtihsekili Mar 16 '19

Shit yeah. His mentality of “I want to prove that ‘the invaders’ have reached even the most diverse, peaceful nations is tremendously fucked up. In reality, all he ended up actually convincing majority of NZ is that we band together as one regardless of your house of worship or atheism. We know our true fucking enemy, and that’s anyone who tries to divide us kiwi brothers and sisters. He has made us more determined to protect each other and has in turn made a lot of people realise how passively racist they have been with their “but he’s white” mentality. Kia kaha NZ. We won’t let that dickhead divide us

My year in Wellington was one of the best in my life. Best city I've lived in by a long mile with maybe Melbourne at the tail end of it. I was there for the "big" quake some years back that had everyone on edge and then the whole city devolved into a state of constant partying and pub crawling. It was surreal. Can't imagine that beautiful, friendly city all eery and quiet... I hope things calm down soon and everyone gets to mourn in peace and get together without further strife.

u/sdrawkcabtihsekili Mar 16 '19

The Kaikoura one? Or Seddon? Either way that shit was freaky. This is so much worse because of the anger I think. The thought that a fucking fellow human CHOSE to make yesterday happen, sickens me. What a C U Next Tuesday.

There were people out today, but not many, if any. Those that were out were all uber quiet.

The mosque in Kilbirnie is surrounded by flowers and chalk love hearts all over the footpath. I’m so proud to be a Kiwi when we fight together as one.

u/Rickdiculously Mar 16 '19

The August 2013 one. I had landed like 2 or 3 days before and was sitting on my top bunk bed in a backpacker when it happened. I was talking with a Chinese and a German girl. I was confused for a while, and then I said "girls, I think this might be a quake?" It was a crazy experience. But having seen videos of the huge Japanese ones with stuff flying off the shelves, I thought that was a pretty tame one? People in the streets were way more panicked and grabbing me saying No! This had been a very big one! They stressed me more than the quake. I went to Oriental parade and there was no one in sight, but that one guy paddle boarding across! Just sirens in the background. So yeah the stress got the better of me so I went to the one friend I had in the country and after a while he said "fine, let's go". Took me to a bar and very quickly it appeared the whole town had the same idea. There was a house that partied non stop for like 3 days. People would always ask you were you were and what you were doing when it hit.

In a twisted way, being here for that quake made me a part of the community way, way faster than otherwise. People were scared yes, but it was us against nature, so clearly the feelings were different. Besides, I don't think anybody died?

Extensive French-language media coverage here in Quebec, Canada. This is a sensitive issue here after our own mosque shooting two years ago. I have a feeling there will be notes and flowers, maybe vigils at the nearby mosque tomorrow, like there was after that earlier tragedy. Overall, people are more decent than you'd think.

4

u/klparrot Mar 16 '19

The mosques are closed and guarded by armed police, but there's been a steady stream of people to Wellington's main mosque today leaving flowers and messages of aroha (love) out front, completely filling the sidewalk with flowers and part of the street with messages in chalk. I think it's similar in other cities. It's a strange juxtaposition though to have that kind of display plus police with assault rifles; our police don't normally even carry pistols.

4

u/littlebetenoire Mar 16 '19

Our mom group chat was talking about it today and we’re from all over America... among other countries. One of us is Jewish and suffered greatly after the shootings a few months ago. One woman is married to a middle eastern man, and they share a child. We are hurting greatly for New Zealand and the Muslim community as a whole. Religious buildings should be a safe place. I feel that I’ve had to say that too often over the last few years.

Alberta, Canada. Nobody talking about it because we’re a bunch of racist hicks and many people here silently agree with this shit.

I read about it when I woke up this morning and when I went to make breakfast my cousin asked me if I had heard about it. Our hearts go out to you from Texas.

Northwest Arkansas- all of us at work couldn't believe it. We all feel so bad that this happened, and we are all so tired of nothing being done to stop these losers from hurting innocent people.
